Looking forward to the great tips on saturday!
Before I post this in the 'parts for sale' section, I thought I'd offer these items locally for anyone coming up on saturday.
I have a set of lightly used comptech sport 'cat test pipes', part# 250-201.
Price is $130 (which includes free white glove delivery to Meguiars parking lot). New, around $300 Sample-> Retail Link
Note that these state that they fit 95-99 on the label.
In addition, if anyone wants my 98 stock springs and a 10" bazooka tube (both for free) let me know and I'll pack those up too.
Just PM me if your interested. I'll see you on saturday.

Cool. You can check out the Kenwood 7015 in my car.PoohBEAR said:
My guest can't make it so another spot is open for the person who wants it
I also had to back out as my work scheduled a mandatory morning meeting. I've already contacted Meguiars about it though so someone feel free to take my spot. Hopefully we'll have another one of these events in the future so I can go!

Re: Free Meguiar's Detailing Clinic date Feb 26 confirmed
Just an update, I live in Apple Valley, CA and it's raining pretty good up here but the forecast for Irvine is for only 10% chance for rain. So we do plan on holding the class with donuts and coffee from 8:30am to 9:00am and the class starting sharp at 9:00am
See you tomorrow morning!

Fred, thanks for setting up this very informative event! As always, I had a great time chatting with the fellow NSXers.
Mike, it was great to learn from an expert. It makes me want to clay all my cars. A quick check on next week's weather forecast put a damper on the enthusiasm. :frown:
Thanks again for the both of yous!
Manny, let me know when you are going to get your valance installed.

Holy Crap! The difference on the red car is amazing. Any tips for those of us who could not make it.
Yup, Meguiar's Scratch X works with a lot of "passion".NetViper said:
Thanks to kfong777 for the organization and a huge thanks to Mike Phillips from Meguiar's for having us. Good information, good demos, good food.
We learned the 5 step paint care process:
1. Washing with proper solutions
2. Cleaning / Surface Prep
(removing below surface defects) / (removing above surface contaminants)
3. Polishing
Cleaner Polish (removing swirls and light scratches) and
Pure Polishes (Creating brilliant shine and gloss)
4. Protecting - waxes / paint protectants
5. Maintaining - Quick Detailers / Spray Waxes
It was a wealth of information. My what, why and how questions were answered. For those who couldn't make it...bummer. Next year. :smile:
